The Words
The whole corpus, rendered from the game's own data — the same words the game deals, fades, and spends. Use it as a reference while you play: what a word can do, what it engraves into, and what it costs to lose.
How to read this exhibit
- Glyph — the mark a word becomes when the Fade erodes it to two letters or fewer. Glyphs still work, but weakly.
- Tier — bronze (T1) common scrap, silver (T2) mid craft, gold (T3) rare. Gold is the only source of ritual and ending keys.
- Speak — the effects SPEAK casts: fire, harm, repel, heal, ritual. A word with no speak is still spendable — as OFFER, ENGRAVE, or BURY.
- Rune — the family ENGRAVE sets the word into: warms, repels, cuts, heals, holds, binds, moves, seeks. Scrap words engrave to nothing.
- Offer / bury — the word's value when sacrificed to repel the tide, or buried to restore the world.
